History

The townhouse was built in the 1850s, prior to the American Civil War, and designed in the Italianate architectural style.[2] In 1859, the house was acquired by Mary E. Claiborne, who turned it into a boarding house until 1881.[2] Three years later, in 1884, it was acquired by Julius Sax, who rented it to the Standard Club, a Jewish private members' club, in 1891.[2]

It was acquired by Dr. Giles Christopher Savage, an ophthalmologist and professor at the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, in 1889.[2] Savage used it as a practice, as did his daughter, Kate Savage Zerfoss, a Tulane University Medical School graduate who also taught at the Vanderbilt University Medical School.[2] Her husband, Dr. Tom Zerfoss, was a physician with the Vanderbilt Student Health Service.[2] Meanwhile, another one of Dr Savage's daughters, Portia Savage Ward, opened an antiques store, which closed down in 1980.[2]

gollark: This is NOT true. I have not in any way been sponsored by pizza companies. There have been no advertising agreements whatsoever with any companies producing pizza or otherwise to have me subliminally advertise pizza, as my profile picture is not a pizza. Since it is not a pizza, this is obviously not pizza advertisement whatsoever. No monetary exchanges or otherwise have occurred with companies engaged in pizza production for any reason relating to my profile picture. You are clearly engaged in libel and attempting to discredit my non-pizza-advertising status. It is IN NO WAY subliminal pizza advertising because I DO NOT work for pizza companies in any form. It's not pizza. There were no deals, under-the-table or otherwise, with pizza companies. No pizza companies pay for any kind of subliminal advertising involving me. People make that mistake, but I am not working for pizza companies doing subliminal advertising; that is not in any way what I am doing. I am NOT being sponsored by ANY pizza companies to display subliminal pizza advertising OF ANY KIND.
